Fish that looks like a penis

They need a sleek body shape in order to dig through the dirt—a bulky or round shape would be sort of counterproductive for digging. Which looks even more like a penis. They can then use their dickish siphon to suck up water and filter it out for its plankton. Actually, according to cursory research, that's never happened. It preys on big fishes, whales, dolphins and the occasional unfortunate swimmer, latching onto them before gouging out cookie-sized chunks of flesh. Furthermore, they are readily available at South Korean fish markets and eagerly awaiting human consumption.

In the sand under the sea, U-shaped pipes are pitched and male and female are made in eggs and sperm, respectively. They are distributed in Korea, Japan, and the Pacific coast. Equipped with large hooks at its base and several tiny spines, the sea slug penis latches onto the female reproductive system. Megan spent two years as a reporter on the national desk at NewsCore.
